OHIO fans who turned out in droves for Saturday's showdown between the Bobcats and the Ohio State Buckeyes were treated to quite the show. The visiting Bobcats led 14-12 after three quarters, but ultimately fell to No. 3 Ohio State 26-14 despite a tough defensive showing. Among those on hand for the contest were Gov. Ted Strickland, Presidents Roderick J. McDavis of Ohio University and E. Gordon Gee of Ohio State, and Ohio University President Emeritus Vernon R. Alden.
